The style of foot gear forming the subject matter of this invention is what is termed a low quarter shoe, or may be termed a slipper and comprises a rubber sole l, a rubber heel 5, a canvas upper formed of two sections 6 and 7, and a metallic protector or shield, which may be termed a tip and which is indicated at 8. The sections 6 and 7 of the canvas upper are secured together centrally of the heel of the shoe, by a row of stitching, as indicated at 9, and the said sections 6 and 7 are also secured together at the front of the upper, by a row of stitching as indicated at 10 and which extends from the toe portion of the sole to the top edge of the upper at the instep. The lower edge of the canvas upper is provided throughout with a lateral extending flange. 11, which is seated upon the upper face of.

the sole 4, is flush with theedge of the sole throughout and is secured to the sole 4: by.

a row of stitching 12. The top edge of the canvas upper is reinforced by a strip of binding 13, the ends of the latter meeting centrally of the heel portion of the upper and the said binding 13 over-laps the top edge of the canvas upper or body and is secured thereto by a row of stitching 14. The protector, shield or toe tip 8, has a lower portion thereof provided with a lateral flange 14, which is mounted upon the flange 11 of the canvas upper or body and is fixedly secured in position by holdfast devices 15, which extend through the flanges 12 and 1 1 and engage the sole 1.

the body portion or upper is provided below the binding 13 near the heel portion,

with a pair of eyelets 16, for receiving a flexible member to secure the shoe around:

the foot of the wearer if the shoe becomes loose.
